V.Ulyanov(Lenin)Chairman, C.P.C.

[1]OnNovember 21, 1921, D. I. Kursky informed Lenin that the
materials of the commission to estimate the losses had been
preserved, that they were at the People’s Commissariat for Foreign
Affairs and were being completed by a commission set up by a
C.P.C. decision of November 1, 1921. Kursky proposed a C.P.C.
decision to appoint S. S. Pilyavsky to be responsible for safe-keeping the material and to fix December 1, 1921, as a deadline
for completing the work of the commission.

OnKursky’s letter there is the following note by Lenin: “To
Gorbunov. Introduce tomorrow, 22/XI, in the C.P.C. 21/XI.Lenin.”

OnNovember 22, the C.P.C. heard Kursky’s report and
accepted his proposal. See also this volume, Document 512.
